OPPO Pad Air 6 specifications revealed ahead of launch; Pad 6F could be headed to India

Highlights
  • The OPPO Pad Air 6 will launch in China on November 16th with a 12.1-inch 120Hz display and Dimensity 7360 Super chipset.
  • A separate tablet, believed to be the OPPO Pad 6F, has appeared on India’s BIS certification database.
  • The Pad 6F could feature a 144Hz display and Dimensity 9500s chip.

OPPO has two new tablets in the pipeline, but only one has a confirmed launch date. The OPPO Pad Air 6 is set to debut in China on November 16th alongside the Reno 17 series, with the company listing its full specifications ahead of the announcement. Meanwhile, a tablet bearing model number OPD2605 has appeared on India’s BIS certification website. It’s believed to be the OPPO Pad 6F, suggesting the company could have another model planned for the Indian market. The Pad Air 6 is an update to OPPO’s mid-range Pad Air lineup, while the Pad 6F could sit closer to the company’s higher-performance Pad 6 series.

OPPO Pad Air 6 specifications

The OPPO Pad Air 6 has a 12.1-inch LCD with a 2,800 x 1,980-pixel resolution, 7:5 aspect ratio and 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7360 Super processor, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Buyers will get 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB options in China, alongside Wi-Fi and 5G variants. A 10,050mAh battery with 33W SuperVOOC charging, quad speakers and 8MP cameras on both sides complete the package. The tablet runs Android 17-based ColorOS 17 and weighs around 603 gms.

If you think the spec sheet looks familiar, that’s because the Pad Air 5 already offered the same display resolution, refresh rate and battery capacity, along with 33W charging. Its Dimensity 7300 Ultra chip is the main component being upgraded. OPPO also brought the Pad Air 5 to India as the Pad 5, starting at Rs 26,999. That makes an India launch for the Air 6 possible, but the company hasn’t confirmed it.

OPPO Pad 6F spotted on BIS

Meanwhile, the BIS listing for model OPD2605 was spotted on November 9th but it doesn’t reveal any name or specifications. The same model number earlier appeared on Malaysia’s SIRIM database with the Pad 6F name, so we establish that correlation, while Thailand’s NBTC listing points to 4G connectivity.

Leaks suggest a 12.1-inch LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate and MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. These details are still unconfirmed. The Pad 6F is also not the same device as the OPPO Pad 6, which launched in China in May with a 144Hz display, Dimensity 9500s processor and 10,420mAh battery supporting 67W charging.

If the Pad 6F does arrive in India with those rumoured specifications, it could compete in a more performance-focused segment against tablets such as the Xiaomi Pad 8. The Pad Air 6, meanwhile, would face more direct competition from the Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G and OnePlus Pad Go 2, both of which offer 12.1-inch 120Hz displays.

OPPO hasn’t announced prices for the Pad Air 6 or an India launch date for either model. Buyers looking for a tablet in the Rs 25,000 – Rs 35,000 range already have capable options from Redmi and OnePlus. It would be worth waiting for OPPO’s India plans, particularly for the Pad 6F, but the BIS listing alone is not confirmation of an imminent launch.
